This is so disheartening. I’m sorry but in addition to the feckless Merrick Garland, Biden also played a part in the colossal mishandling of these cases. Everyone was so concerned with appearances that they failed the people of the country and will now turn over the reins to a criminal.

BREAKING: ICE and private prison contractor GEO Group are refusing to allow Mahmoud Khalil to hold his newborn son for the first time, even after his wife flew them over 1,000 miles to visit.
We just asked a federal court to order ICE to grant Mahmoud's request for a contact visit with his family.

This is a clear statement by CNN that a man who incited an insurrection against America 4 years ago and told 31,000 lies in his first term still has credibility
People should be fired for this sort of thing, as it's these journalistic atrocities—all *dangerously* counterfactual—driving readers away

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

Good morning to everyone but the most corrupt president to ever exist, who is at this moment selling out his nation to the funders of terrorism so his boy can sign another $2 billion deal. Oh and Tom Holman

So far, zero judges have agreed we are in a "state of war."
Rep. Michael McCaul on Stephen Miller threatening to suspend habeas corpus: "The courts are gonna decide this one as to whether this invasion in fact constitutes what would be a state of war. Some would say it would."

The same greedy slob who has treated himself to $2.9 BILLION from cryptocurrency shakedowns thinks your kids should be happy to get five pencils for Christmas.
Trump: "I don't think a beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have three dolls or four dolls ... they don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have five."

“If the Trump administration can get away with violating the Constitution because it knows the courts will be too slow to prevent it, then those constitutional rights simply no longer exist,” Adam Serwer writes:
The Supreme Court’s ‘Selective Proceduralism’ Would Suffocate the Constitution
The law allows for extraordinary interventions under extraordinary circumstances, such as when human beings face the possibility of lifetime incarceration without due process.

NEW! Sworn declarations filed last night confirm the Trump admin sent INNOCENT people to rot in prison El Salvador, including a professional soccer player jailed and tortured by the Maduro regime, who entered this country LEGALLY to seek asylum, and who has NO CRIMINAL RECORD in either country.
![I am the immigration attorney for Jerce Reyes Barrios, born in January 16, 1989 in Venezuela. 2. In February and March 2024, Mr. Reyes Barrios marched in two demonstrations in Venezuela protesting the authoritarian rule of Maduro. At the second demonstration, he was detained and taken to a clandestine building where he was tortured (electric shocks and suffocation) along with other demonstrators. 3. Shortly after his release, he fled Venezuela for the United States. He registered with CBP One in Mexico, then presented himself to CBP officials on the day of his appointment. He was taken into custody and detained at Otay Mesa Detention Facility in September 2024. 4. We applied for asylum, withholding of removal, and CAT protection in December 2024. His final individual hearing is set for April 17, 2025 before Judge Robinson at the Otay Mesa Immigration Court. 5. On March 15, 2025, Mr. Reyes Barrios was deported to El Salvador with no notice to counsel or family. It was not until March 18, 2025 that counsel was able to reach an ICE official and learn that he had in fact been deported. 6. Mr. Reyes Barrios was/is a professional soccer player in Venezuela. He has never been arrested or charged with a crime. He has a steady employment record as a soccer player, as well as a soccer coach for children and youth. 7. Initially, Mr. Reyes Barrios was placed in maximum security at Otay Mesa and accused of being a Tren de Aragua gang member. The accusation is based on two things. First, he has a tattoo on his arm of a crown sitting atop a soccer ball with a rosary and the word "Dies." OHS alleges that this tattoo is proof of gang membership. In reality, he chose this tattoo, because it is similar to the logo for his favorite soccer team Real Madrid. See logo below. [pictures of the tattoo and the pictures of the logo]. 8. Second, OHS reviewed his social media posts and found a photo of Mr. Reyes Barrios making a hand gesture that they allege is proof of gang membership.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifncv2sfxob3h7ozdkoymku3wfpbknlroa6bric46v5y7asbrzrim@jpeg)
